FAQs
Do I need lots of images for this article?
No—one strong feature image is enough. If adding more, choose 1–3 relevant visuals (renders or maps) with descriptive alt text and lazy loading.
Which projects are most likely to impact property prices?
Large amenity and transit projects—Western Foreshore, Mandurah Junction, and Lakelands connectivity—tend to drive nearby demand over time.
Is Mandurah still attractive for investors?
Yes. Diversifying employment, tourism uplift, and ongoing residential development support both growth and rental fundamentals.
